The best beach in the Mediterranean?

There are always beaches claiming to be the best in the Mediterranean and Koukounaries is no exception. However, Koukounaries may have a good point because its golden sands and clear waters are truly beautiful. Many won’t argue that it is one of the finest beaches in the Aegean and its reputation stands sturdy across Skiathos. The only way to challenge its claim as ‘the best beach in the Mediterranean’ is to test it out. Holidays to Koukounaries feel pure and ‘with nature’, the lush green land just beyond the beach is a preserved wildlife and bird area. This area was initially designed to be a nine-hole golf course but Koukounaries is so passionate about protecting its flora and fauna, the golf course wasn’t allowed the extra land for the ninth hole! Gone are the clubs and instead the area is a surprisingly quiet park – perfect for a post-lunch stroll. Check out all holidays to Skiathos Town

Total relaxation

Away from the hustle and bustle of some of Skiathos’ bigger resorts, Koukounaries provides the pine-clad mountains and cloudless skies that create a perfect backdrop for total relaxation. The area is popular but not overly so, that you have to fight for a space on the sand. It’s easy to lie back on the beach, close your eyes and forget anyone else is there. If you fancy the walk, the further you head along the shoreline the more secluded spots you’ll find. The tavernas, water schools and shops are typically clumped together near the hotels so move away from those to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. At night the candle lit tavernas provide some mood lighting and the pink sunsets create a warming atmosphere. Stroll along the beach in the moonlight or share a few cocktails along the promenade – a Koukounaries holiday is about doing a whole lot of nothing.
